If you are receiving data, you almost certainly don't have an irq/port
problem. You can check /proc/interrupts to see if the interrupt count
is incrementing for the Wavelan device; and "ifconfig" will show
whether the driver thinks that packets are being sent and received.
Are you sure your network settings are correct?

> PCI irq 9 test failed
This is your problem. The PCI interrupt test is unreliable for Ricoh
CardBus bridges. This is fixed in the 3.1.15 PCMCIA drivers. With
those drivers, you should be able to get the card to use the PCI irq
(irq 9).
Also, you will need to get the 6.01 beta version of Lucent's driver
for the Wavelan card, from sourceforge.org in /pcmcia/contrib. The
wvlan_cs driver does not work if the card is configured to use a PCI
interrupt.

Yay !
Thank you David. Using 3.1.15 does work much better. I now have 11Mb
connectivity between the two cards.
Both cards have taken pci irq 9. Your comment about the drivers
puzzles me - the cards seem to be behaving sensibly with the wvlan_cs
driver (1.04). I have the card firmware down at 4.52 (to stop wvlan_cs
choking on the tx threshold) - does the 6.01b driver requirement issue
relate to any firmware differences. I only ask because the cards seem to
be working great with what I believe are pci irqs. Am I likely to be
mistaking my irq types ?
Thanks again,
Jonathon

The Lucent driver required a patch to work with PCI-to-CardBus card
readers and I thought I had a report of trouble with the wvlan_cs
driver in this configuration that went away with the new Lucent
driver. But I haven't actually used either driver (and don't have any
Wavelan cards) so that information may have been incorrect.
If the cards seem to work fine, I wouldn't worry about it. The older
Lucent driver would wedge the system at card configuration time, so
you would know it if you had the same issue.
